Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulated Motion for Forfeiture of Property,

19 ECF No. 60. On July 21, 2017, the United States filed a verified complaint seeking
20 forfeiture of approximately 45 firearms of assorted makes, models, and calibers on
21 grounds that the firearms are forfeitable pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(d) for violations
22 of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(1)(A), Dealing in Firearms Without a License. ECF No. 1. On
23 December 4, 2017, William F. Walker filed a claim to the firearms. ECF No. 9.
24

On February 19, 2020, Claimant William F. Walker executed a plea

25 agreement in the related criminal case, United States v. William Frank Walker, 4:1926 CR-06012-SAB, in which he agreed to plead guilty to one count of Dealing in
27 Firearms Without a License, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(a)(1)(A), 923(a), and
28 924(a)(1)(D). On July 22, 2020, Claimant William F. Walker was sentenced to 5FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE *1
